Written by Victoria Zigler – and now with an audio edition read by Giles Miller – the “Kero’s World” stories are all about the adventures of my West Highland White Terrier, Kero, who made that journey across the rainbow bridge a little over three years ago. So, read his stories, and see the world from the point of view of a little white dog.

Book 1 – Kero Goes Walkies

If there’s one thing Kero loves more than going for a walk, then it has to be going for a walk that takes him to more than one place. Today his walk will take him both to the park and to the beach. What will he find there? Who will he see? And what will a little dog like him think of it all?

It’s Kero’s birthday, and his humans are doing everything they can to make it a special day for him. What will Kero think of all the fuss and attention? And what exactly makes a birthday special for a dog anyway?

Kero isn’t feeling well at all, and that means only one thing: a trip to his least favourite place in the world… The vet! What will the vet do to make Kero feel better? And will Kero think it was worth the trip to the vet in the end?

Something strange is going on, and Kero doesn’t know if he’s more confused or frightened. All he knows for sure is that the humans are calling it Halloween. Will Kero be able to make sense of this Halloween thing? Or is it just too scary and confusing for a little dog to understand?

Kero’s very excited to find he’s going to town with his humans. He’s sure there must be loads of great things to do there, after all the humans go there all the time. But what kinds of things can a little dog do in town? And will it be as much fun as he thinks it will?

Christmas is here, and with it comes snow and Santa Paws – whoever he is. What will Kero think of the snow? Will he be able to make sense of all the holiday activity? And will he be able to stay up long enough to catch this mysterious Santa Paws?

Kero is sicker than he’s ever been before, and has been for a while now. It looks like it’s time for another trip to the vet. But this time Kero’s human won’t be bringing him home; it’s time for Kero to cross the rainbow bridge! What does this mean? And what will Kero find on the other side of the rainbow bridge?

This is the final book in the “Kero’s World” series, and tells the story of the saddest and very last chapter in the life of a beloved dog, as he goes to the place where all of us must go eventually.

But, of course, neither his human nor the postman could understand him, so they had no idea that was all he was saying.

“Hush Kero,” said his human as she rushed down the path to grab the post from the poor frightened postman. “It’s just the postman.”

“That’s what I said,” Kero barked.

But, of course, she didn’t understand him, and just told him to be quiet again, which Kero thought was very unfair.

When his human took the post inside with her, Kero decided to go too. After all, he was always interested in inspecting anything that came in to his territory, so he had to check the post. He felt it was his duty; part of his job as protector of his home and human.

“There’s one for you, Kero,” his human told him as he jumped up on the sofa beside her to sniff at the post she was holding.

Sure enough, she held out something which smelled very much like it contained dog treats.

“Open it! Open it!” Kero barked excitedly, nudging the small parcel with his nose to make sure his human knew what he wanted her to do.

She still didn’t understand why he was barking, but the way he was nudging the package made it perfectly clear to her what he wanted. So, she opened it for him.

Inside was something with pictures and writing on it that Kero’s human said was a birthday card. He sniffed it politely, but was much more interested in the other item in the package. His nose had been right, and there was a pack of dog treats.
